What is Odronextamab?
Odronextamab is a bispecific antibody drug designed to treat certain types of B-cell blood cancers, including some forms of lymphoma. It works by connecting two different targets at the same time — one on cancer cells and one on immune cells called T-cells — so the immune system can find and destroy the cancer. This type of treatment is part of a growing group of therapies that help the body's own defenses fight cancer more effectively.
